A CS who knows about corporate litigation has huge scope in the industry .
I think you are talking about this?
If yes, then here is the original article:

Some big companies with the same person as CS and GC are HUL, HDFC Bank, Nestle, Britannia, Titan, Eicher Motors.
In conclusion, having CS degree might be useful but even if you dont go for CS you can get a job in in the the inhouse legal team.
And they are paid massively.
Mind you Company Secretary Of PVR ( Not even under nifty 50's bracket) gets 6cr+ stock options per annum and he is not even 60yrs of age 🥲🥲🥲
I started CS after I joined law school. Completed Foundation during my 2nd Sem. Completed Executive by the end of my 6th Sem. Enrolled in CS Professional cleared 6 out of 8 papers by my 8th Sem - but never completed the course - even after 7-8 years from enrollment. Do not even intend to complete.
Why did I not complete?
I chose my calling/ sub-set in the legal profession where CS served no practical purpose. Knowledge is always welcome but the degree is not required. So never bothered to pursue and complete. Do not see any use in future as well.
Why did I even start then?
Someone told me CS will better my employment opportunity. Had a lot of free time.
Pros & Cons (to the extent of time I was pursuing the course).
Pros: Was something in addition to the regular law course. Always allowed me to know something more. Was always a plus point on the CV for securing internships. Helped me score really good marks in my law subjects like Corporate Laws and Tax.
Cons: Takes some time and effort but very much a doable course along with law. Don't see any cons as such. Also do not think I would have done anything more worthwhile if I had not enrolled in CS. Maybe I would have put in the time and effort in CS 1.6 (which I still did!).
if you are into corporate law CS is your go to degree dude , in law school we are just taught the basics company law but in CS it is exhaustive + IBC + CR+ FEMA and what not .
not an easy degree to get as well though, but manageable .
